The Strand: Harbour Public Realm

Find out more about the work we are doing to regenerate The Strand and Harbourside in Torquay.

The Strand on Torquay Harbour after regeneration.

Updated 3 April 2025

Welcome to our new look harbourside!

This is our first completed project funded by the Town Deal. The space is open for everyone to enjoy.

We have created a space that is:

  • Well-connected
  • The vibrant place to go
  • High quality
  • Modern

To make the space more open and inviting we have:

  • Created new bus stops on Cary Parade.
  • Replaced the roundabout junction and incorporated the Grade II listed Clock Tower into the space.
  • Relocated taxi ranks and loading bays.
  • Widened pedestrian routes to make room for dining, seating and planted area.
  • Put in a new high quality surface material, feature lighting and street furniture.
  • Created space for events.
  • Added cycle parking.
  • Installed a new tribute to Agatha Christie.
